| THE COAST CREW are major market professionals who came to Mendocino County
to do Real Radio. The call letters left behind include the legends of West Coast Rock from
the beginnings of FM Rock to today, stations like KMPX, KSAN, KLOS, KMEL, and KLSX. Our morning show on THE COAST features the
"Dean of Mendocino County News Directors", Joe Regelski, a veteran on San
Francisco radio, including KMEL, KNBR, THE QUAKE and THE CITY. Joe is the only local
newsperson to cover all the important governmental and civic meetings, presenting factual,
timely accounts of all the events of importance to our audience.
Scott McConnell
joins Regelski as morning host and is also the
newest member of The Coast
Crew. A veteran of legendary album stations including KMET and
WXRT.
Kate Hayes
is on THE COAST middays. She is a nationally known voice and a veteran
programmer and air personality at stations in San Francisco and Los Angeles like KSAN, THE
CITY, KQPT "THE POINT", KLSX and more... her voice makes listeners tune in, but
they stay for her knowledge of the music, the community and her one-on-one style.
Kate one of five Small Market Personality of the year for 2007.
In 2008, Kate was nominated as FMQB Triple A Music
Director of The Year for Markets 51+ which is for helping to pick the newer music you're
learning to love.

television gigs in Reno and Seattle. Marie brings cleverness and humor to her show, and
shes really good at soccer and a soccer mom too.
Nights on THE
COAST belong to co-owner,

wit and musical knowledge come from his long history in radio and major market successes,
including being the first Program Director of KLOS, plus programming
KMPX, KSAN, THE CITY and
KLSX, and working as a national consultant The nightly specials and Tom's own "LOCAL
LICKS" program keep listeners to the wee hours. Tom also hosts the longest
running Beatles show in Northern California Sunday mornings at 8am "Breakfast with
the Beatles".
Sunday Morning Joe,
Joe Seta -
lets Tom sleep in a little Sundays. Regularly heard on THE COAST
right before Breakfast with the
Beatles and fills in brilliantly covering for vacations.
And on the late side of Sunday's, co-owner,
Vicky Watts is your
host for the evening.
We also have to mention our Engineer,
Bill Rett.... if it weren't for him, we wouldn't be here. And he wouldn't be here
if it wasn't for the music. He says that THE
COAST is the last of the Real Radio
Stations.
THE COAST is Real Radio .... programmed by long time professionals and hosted by
people who just love music.
